I Am Alive will probably not be coming to PC, the game’s creative director Stanislas Mettra claims. The problem with releasing a PC edition is that piracy makes profitably uncertain.

Ubisoft is aware of the fact that PC gamers want the game too so here’s Mettra’s official statement regarding a PC release:

“We’ve heard loud and clear that PC gamers are bitching about there being no version for them,” said Mettra.

“But are these people just making noise just because there’s no version or because it’s a game they actually want to play? Would they buy it if we made it?”

Whether they would buy it or not, Mettra believes piracy makes porting games to the platform financially difficult.

“It’s hard because there’s so much piracy and so few people are paying for PC games that we have to precisely weigh it up against the cost of making it. Perhaps it will only take 12 guys three months to port the game to PC, it’s not a massive cost but it’s still a cost. If only 50,000 people buy the game then it’s not worth it.”

12 people really? Don’t even bother porting it then! Also did Ubisoft ever heard of Steam? 50,000 copies on Steam is nothing…

AND THAT’S NOT ALL! UBI decided not to release Ghost Recon: Future Soldier on PC either. Ubi states that 95% of gamers would pirate it.

I think Ubisoft wants to back away from the PC, since they make only shitty brutal force console ports(From Dust?:p) and nothing else. And on top of it they add their DRM shit.

Almost everybody from the pc community(excluding fanboys) complains about that, so maybe they are just pissed at us. What you think? Are we going to miss them? xD
